| [03-03 21:43] | [Chat] | Roku: it will take forever, and yes, there will still be a place for coal too. Its cheap and dirty. |
| [03-03 21:43] | [Chat] | Icewolfz: if the ycrack fusion it will kill most of the big powe rgens |
| [03-03 21:43] | [Chat] | Roku: Then again, when was the last time a house had home delivery of coal for the furnace? 1950? |
| [03-03 21:44] | [Chat] | Malice: meh, it being the dominate force will outlive us... or at least our useful years. |
| [03-03 21:44] | [Chat] | Icewolfz: there has been a lot of push on fusion i know china has had al to of rcent success and i read there een some stuff in eu or us |
| [03-03 21:44] | [Chat] | Icewolfz: gas has only been around roughly 100 years |
| [03-03 21:44] | [Chat] | Icewolfz: so it is very posisble it wil lbe replaced |
| [03-03 21:45] | [Chat] | Malice: to be fair, lots of people use wood/pellet heating around here that pre-dates coal, haha |
| [03-03 21:45] | [Chat] | Icewolfz: took only 75 years for pcs to rule |
| [03-03 21:45] | [Chat] | Icewolfz: so most of the stuff eing replaced has onyl been around roughly 100 years |
| [03-03 21:46] | [Chat] | Roku: change is possible, probable and will eventually happen. Fuel Oil furnaces in the NE have been rapidly replaced with electricity eating heat pumps because honestly, its about $1000 for 2 tons of heat/AC instead of a central system at $10k+ |
| [03-03 21:46] | [Chat] | Icewolfz: well acs where toally change in 1 year |
| [03-03 21:46] | [Chat] | Icewolfz: well maybe 5 yeras |
| [03-03 21:47] | [Chat] | Icewolfz: ther wa the wohle period that every ac had to siwtch to new gas |
| [03-03 21:47] | [Chat] | Malice: just moving who has the fuel around. Fuel it yourself, or connect it to the grid... someone is burning the fossil fule somewhere. |
| [03-03 21:47] | [Chat] | Icewolfz: tha tchanged the entire ac near instantly |
| [03-03 21:47] | [Chat] | Roku: but only because the power from Niagra Falls (which comes from Ontario power) makes it feasible to do it as fuel oil is consistently one of the costliest heating fuels since the 80's per therm. |
| [03-03 21:48] | [Chat] | Malice: There are still plenty of things running on old freon like R22... just made it too financially painful to do en masse |
| [03-03 21:48] | [Chat] | Icewolfz: there a lot of stuff being tried so any time something could be success and kill oil |
| [03-03 21:48] | [Chat] | Roku: no one wants to refine fuel oil or diesel..its a money loser most of the time for refineries. |
